Default How Long Will You Keep Your 2IS

I am just curious how long do you plan to keep your 2IS. I plan to keep mine until it dies; however, I plan to get a 2 seater once I graduate college.

I'm with you. Cars never leave my family till they're completely dead or totaled. I'm gonna keep this car as my daily, and like you, I'm gonna get my own project/fun car once I'm out of college. Most likely back to the supras.

I am keeping my IS350 until it is completely dead. I see no point in buying a brand new car and selling it within a couple years and taking a big depreciation hit... might as well get my money's worth, plus I have had no real issues with the car (no rattles, no reliability issues, ect.). When the time comes when I want another car after college, I will still use the IS as the daily driver.

2 more years, 4 years total - 100K miles. Then reevaluate to get second car or replacement.

I'll keep it till 2012 and then lease a new one again. But that's still some time away and out of all the cars I have had over the years this is by far the most fun to drive.
